Description

Method for obtaining SCD1 gene editing goat embryo by using CRISPR/Cas9 system and microinjection
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the fields of genetic engineering and genetic modification, and relates to a goat embryo high-efficiency gene editing method established by utilizing a CRISPR/Cas9 system and a microinjection technology.
Background
The dairy goat industry is an important component of the modern dairy industry, and goat milk products are high in nutrition content, rich in short and medium chain fatty acids and various unsaturated fatty acids, and have unique nutritional values and health care functions (Clark and Garcia, 2017), so that optimization of the composition and content of goat milk fatty acids is necessary (Mahdi et al, 2018). The stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD 1) gene catalyzes the production of monounsaturated fatty acids, an important constituent of saturated fatty acids in sheep milk (Bernard et al 2005). The SCD1 gene knockout goat embryo can lay a foundation for living animal experiments, and provides a test animal material for researching the regulation and control effect of the SCD1 gene on the goat milk fatty acid, and has important significance.
CRISPR/Cas9 technology has become a main means for realizing transgenic animal production and molecular breeding, can efficiently and accurately edit specific loci of genome, such as deletion, insertion, repair and the like (Watakabe et al, 2018), and provides an effective way for directionally and accurately changing genetic materials and regulating animal genetic traits. Currently, CRISPR/Cas9 system mediated gene editing techniques have been widely used to construct animal models such as knockout mice and rats, and antitubercular transgenic cattle, anti-blue-ear pigs, lean pigs, and knockout down-converting goats, etc. have been successfully obtained using the gene editing techniques (Gao et al, 2017; wang et al, 2015; wu Tianwen, et al, 2017).
The microinjection technique is applied to CRISPR/Cas9 system mediated gene editing, which can significantly improve the gene editing efficiency (Qin et al, 2015), which can be as high as 100% in Drosophila embryos (Yu et al, 2013), but lower in mammalian embryos. In order to improve the editing efficiency, chinese patent CN106148416a cultures fertilized eggs of sgrnas and Cas9 mrnas for different subtypes of the Cyp gene in vitro by microinjection, and selects surviving fertilized eggs to transfer into recipient rats, and mating (selfing after crossing with wild type rats) is performed by using the produced rat offspring, so as to obtain homozygous rats with knockout target subtype, but for goats with long reproductive cycle and relatively insufficient fertility, it is difficult to obtain enough fertilized eggs with high homogeneity and good quality due to large individual difference. Also, in order to improve editing efficiency, chinese patent CN106957857a performs prokaryotic injection on two sgrnas and Cas9 mRNA designed for different or same exon regions of goat MSTN gene and FGF5 gene respectively to reduce miss rate, but the gene expression regulation and control pathway in the development period of mammal embryo is complex, and the increase of targeting site makes it more difficult to produce transgenic animals by using CRISPR/Cas9 system and microinjection, which mainly has the following problems: the embryo development rate of gene editing is low, and the birth rate of offspring is low.
Development of fertilized eggs in mammals (in the case of mice) can be defined as different Prokaryotic (PN) stages, namely PN1 to PN5. During PN1 and PN2, pre-replicated prokaryotes are smaller, localized to the embryo periphery after fertilization, and begin to migrate toward the embryo center during the G1 phase (10 h post fertilization); during PN3 and PN4, the prokaryotes undergo DNA replication, migrating further toward the center and toward each other during the S phase (10-16 h post fertilization); at PN5, the embryo is almost in G2 phase. The gene editing efficiency and the damage degree of fertilized eggs after injection are closely related to the Prokaryotic (PN) stage of microinjection selection, and researches report that when a mouse embryo is in the S stage of a cell cycle, a compound of Cas9 mRNA and sgRNA is introduced by utilizing the microinjection technology, and the gene editing is started and lasts for 12 to 24 hours after about 3 hours. However, in the case of goats, the limited number of fertilized eggs results in the impact of injected liquid on fertilized eggs during microinjection, and the difficulty in controlling the amount of injected liquid is high, which is more remarkable in the factors that restrict embryo survival and later development.
At present, no report exists on SCD1 gene editing of goat embryos by using CRISPR/Cas9 system and microinjection.

Meanwhile, in order to facilitate observation of embryo development, the in vitro culture of part of surviving fertilized eggs is reserved, single embryos are collected when the embryos develop to the blastula stage, genome extraction is carried out by using a single Cell genome amplification Kit REPLI-gSingle Cell Kit (Qiagen, 150343), then PCR amplification and sequencing are carried out on gene editing sites, and the gene editing efficiency of corresponding sgRNA at the embryo level of the milk goat is analyzed and calculated according to the result.
In vitro culture: some of the surviving fertilized eggs were transferred into the G1 embryo culture medium, washed three times, and placed in 25. Mu.L droplets for culturing (surface-coated with paraffin oil, 10-15 embryos in each droplet). After in vitro culture for 24 hours, the embryo develops to a two-cell stage, the embryo is transferred into a G2 embryo culture solution rich in glucose for continuous culture until the 7 th day, and the embryo developed to a blastula stage is counted. The results showed that the average number of milk goat embryos developed to blastula in each droplet was 7.
Referring to FIG. 6, the sgRNA/Cas9 mRNA injected into fertilized eggs of the present invention plays a role in efficiently editing a target gene (SCD 1 gene) in milk goat embryos, and meanwhile, the embryo (blastula) obtained after microinjection of two sgRNAs has a gene editing efficiency of 35% (7/20), wherein the sgRNA9 gene editing efficiency is 20% (4/20) and the sgRNA16 gene editing efficiency is 30% (6/20). Thus, co-injection of two sgrnas can increase the gene editing efficiency of fertilized eggs.
(fifth) Experimental controls and supplementary notes
1. Design description of sgrnas
The invention screens the sgRNA (sgRNA 9, sgRNA 16) with highest efficiency according to the oocyte level gene editing result, and then is used for goat fertilized eggs.
2. For determining the collection time of fertilized eggs in the procaryotic stage
After the estrus of the ewe is observed, the estrus of the ewe is tested every 8 hours, the estrus of the ewe is monitored for 3 times within 24 hours, and the starting time and the ending time of the estrus of the ewe are accurately mastered. Considering both aspects, i.e. monitoring the start and end of oestrus simultaneously, and determining that collection of fertilized eggs in the pro-nuclear period is performed 8-12 hours after the last mating of the ewe (i.e. about 46-50 hours after the start of oestrus) is more accurate than the prior art, which generally determines the collection time of fertilized eggs in the pro-nuclear period based on the start time of oestrus (particularly for determining injection time).
3. Effects of injection on embryo development
In the prior art, the development rate of blastula after microinjection of fertilized eggs of mice can reach 24.78% (28/113; xu Wenhao, 2018). The development rate of the blastocyst of the milk goat embryo after microinjection can reach 70% (7/10).
In a word, in the invention, in the process of carrying out goat embryo gene editing by utilizing the CRISPR/Cas9 system and microinjection, the survival rate of fertilized eggs after injection is improved and a higher embryo development rate is obtained by controlling and optimizing SCD1 gene target sites, microinjection time and parameters.
